ELI-5

Two functions in git_utils.pygit_checkout_tag and checkout_pr — each did the same two clunky things: (1) built a nearly-identical fancy red error box by hand, and (2) cd-ed the whole process into the repo folder to run git, then cd-ed back in a finally. This PR pulls the error box into one shared helper, and tells each git command which folder to run in (cwd=) instead of changing the whole process's working directory.

It also plugs a real argument-injection hole: a pull request author controls their own branch name, and we were handing that name straight to git fetch as a bare word. A branch literally named --upload-pack=<some command> would be read by git as an option, not a branch — and git would run that command. Adding -- before the branch tells git "everything after this is a name, not a flag."

Security fix: -- end-of-options separator on git fetch (667887d)

pr_info.head_branch comes straight from the GitHub API (data["head"]["ref"]) and is fully controlled by the PR author. It flowed positionally into git fetch on both the fork and non-fork paths. Because git check-ref-format accepts refs/heads/--upload-pack=x, neither git nor GitHub rejects such a name for us — and comfy install --pr is designed to run against untrusted forks.

Verified against live git:

before:  git fetch origin '--upload-pack=touch …'   → command EXECUTED
after:   git fetch origin -- '--upload-pack=touch …' → fatal: invalid refspec  (blocked)

Both fetch call sites now pass ["git", "fetch", <remote>, "--", head_branch]. The remaining git invocations in this function were audited and are safe by construction: the two git checkout -B start-points are prefixed (origin/…, <remote>/…), local_branch is prefixed pr-, and git remote add <name> <url> rejects a dash-leading URL outright. Regression assertions were added to both checkout_pr tests (the suite mocks subprocess.run, so nothing would otherwise have caught a wrong refspec syntax).

What else changed

  • New _print_git_error(title, panel_title, context, details, exc) helper renders the shared rich error Panel (bold-red title, bold-yellow context line, italic detail lines, optional stderr block). Both except subprocess.CalledProcessError blocks now call it.
  • cwd=repo_path on every subprocess.run call in both functions, replacing the os.getcwd() / os.chdir(repo_path) / finally: os.chdir(original_dir) scaffolding. import os is now unused and removed.

Why the cwd= change matters (beyond dedup)

os.chdir mutates process-global state. Passing cwd= per-call eliminates that mutation, so the functions are safe under any future threaded/concurrent use (no shared-cwd races) and there is no global state left to restore on the error path.

To be precise about what this does not buy: a missing repo_path still raises an uncaught FileNotFoundError — the throw simply moves from os.chdir to subprocess.run(cwd=…). That is unchanged from main; removing the process-global cwd mutation is the actual win.

Behavior is otherwise preserved: git commands still execute against repo_path, and each function still returns False on a git failure.

Behavior note (judgment call)

The checkout_pr error panel is byte-identical to before. The git_checkout_tag panel has minor cosmetic differences on the failure path, which I consider a net improvement:

  • The tag line was previously appended via Text.append(f"[cyan]{tag}[/cyan]"), but Text.append does not parse console markup — so users literally saw [cyan]v1.2.3[/cyan] (brackets and all). It now shows a clean v1.2.3 in the header line.
  • The "Error details:" separator is now italic (was bold-red) with one fewer blank line, matching the shared helper's layout.

If exact byte-for-byte preservation of the old (buggy) tag panel is preferred, I can special-case it — but the current output reads better.

Testing

  • tests/comfy_cli/command/github/test_pr.py — the four mocked checkout_pr tests dropped their now-dead @patch("os.chdir")/@patch("os.getcwd") decorators and now assert cwd=repo_path is passed to every subprocess.run, plus the two ---separator regression assertions described above.
  • Verified against the branch merged with current main: 3541 passed, 37 skipped; uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff .270 files already formatted; ruff check clean.

Add `_print_git_error` and use it from both `git_checkout_tag` and
`checkout_pr` except blocks, deduplicating the two structurally-identical
rich error panels.

Replace the `os.getcwd`/`os.chdir`/`finally` scaffolding in both functions
with `cwd=repo_path` on every `subprocess.run` call. This removes
process-global cwd mutation (safer for any future threaded/concurrent use)
and drops the `import os` that only existed for the chdir dance.

…nt injection

The fork-controlled PR head branch name (pr_info.head_branch, from the
GitHub API and controllable by the PR author) was passed positionally to
'git fetch' on both the fork and non-fork paths. A name beginning with
'-' would be parsed as a git option; 'comfy install --pr' runs against
untrusted forks. Add a '--' end-of-options separator before the refspec
and lock it in with regression assertions.

Requesting changes on one line — everything else here is verified and good, including a security fix that's better than the description lets on.

Blocking: this PR turns main's ruff_check red

ruff_check is failing, and it's PR-caused, not stale CI. The branch rewrites an already-correctly-formatted docstring into a form ruff rejects:

-        """A rate-limited 403 surfaces as GitHubRateLimitError, not a silent "no PR found\""""
+        """A rate-limited 403 surfaces as GitHubRateLimitError, not a silent "no PR found\" """

Proof it's this branch and not the environment — same ruff, both trees, this branch merged with current main:

$ uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff .    # on origin/main
270 files already formatted

$ uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff .    # on this branch
1 file would be reformatted

Why it passed for you: CI pins ruff 0.15.15 (.github/workflows/ruff_check.yml) and runs ruff format --diff, but 0.15.13 accepts this line — I hit the same false-green locally until I matched the pin. Your "ruff check clean" claim is literally true; it's ruff format that fails. Worth running uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff . before pushing.

Revert that one line to main's version and this is ready — nothing else needs to change.

The -- fix is a real RCE guard, and it isn't in the description at all

Commit 667887d (-- separator on git fetch) is the most valuable thing in this PR and the body never mentions it. I verified the vulnerability is real against live git 2.39.5, using a branch name of --upload-pack=touch <path>:

main's form:  git fetch origin '--upload-pack=touch …'
              → command EXECUTED (marker file created)

this branch:  git fetch origin -- '--upload-pack=touch …'
              → fatal: invalid refspec '--upload-pack=touch …'   (blocked)

pr_info.head_branch comes straight from the GitHub API and flows into comfy install --pr against forks, and git check-ref-format accepts refs/heads/--upload-pack=x, so the CLI can't lean on git or GitHub refusing the name. This is worth its own line in the description (and arguably its own PR) so it isn't buried in a refactor.

I checked the calls you did not add -- to, and they're all safe by construction: the two git checkout -B start-points are prefixed (origin/…, remote/…), local_branch is prefixed pr-, and git remote add <name> <url> rejects a dash-leading URL with error: unknown option before doing anything (verified). So the two fetch calls were the whole hole.

Also confirmed git fetch <remote> -- <branch> is accepted by git — the tests mock subprocess.run, so nothing in the suite would have caught it if the syntax were wrong.

The cwd= refactor checks out

Verified against real git repos, not mocks:

  • real repo + tag → returns True, process cwd unchanged
  • missing tag → returns False via the shared panel
  • both panels render; checkout_pr's is byte-identical as claimed

Fixing the Text.append(f"[cyan]{tag}[/cyan]") bug is a genuine improvement — Text.append doesn't parse markup, so users really were seeing literal [cyan]v1.2.3[/cyan]. And because Text.append doesn't parse markup, a tag or PR title containing [...] can't raise MarkupError through the new helper.

One description nit: the body says cwd= "removes the failure mode where os.chdir(repo_path) itself throws (e.g. missing dir)". It doesn't — the throw just moves from os.chdir to subprocess.run(cwd=…). Both main and this branch raise an uncaught FileNotFoundError for a missing repo dir; I checked both. No regression, but the claim overstates it — what you actually removed is the process-global cwd mutation, which is a good enough reason on its own.

(Unrelated and pre-existing on both branches: import comfy_cli.git_utils on its own raises ImportError from a cycle with comfy_cli/command/github/__init__.py. Not yours, not in scope — just noting it since it bites anyone importing the module directly.)

…15.15

The branch had accidentally reformatted the `test_find_pr_by_branch_rate_limit`
docstring, adding a space before the closing triple-quote. ruff format 0.15.15
(the version CI pins) rejects that form, turning `ruff_check` red; 0.15.13
accepts both, which is why it looked clean locally. Restore main's version --
unrelated to this PR's purpose.

Follow-up: I found the root cause, and it isn't a stray editor touch — your local ruff is rewriting that line for you.

I ran each ruff version's format against main's copy of tests/comfy_cli/command/github/test_pr.py, inside the repo so the project config applies:

ruff 0.14.0   -> REWRITES the docstring to the spaced form   (1 line changed)
ruff 0.14.4   -> REWRITES the docstring to the spaced form   (1 line changed)
ruff 0.15.0   -> leaves it alone
ruff 0.15.15  -> leaves it alone   (this is what CI pins)

So ruff 0.14.x turns

"""… not a silent "no PR found\""""

into

"""… not a silent "no PR found\" """

and 0.15.15 rejects that. Running ruff format locally on 0.14.x silently introduces the change, you commit it, and CI goes red. That also explains the note in #630's description — "one pre-existing reformat in tests/comfy_cli/command/github/test_pr.py … present on main — likely local-vs-CI ruff version drift." It isn't pre-existing: main is clean under 0.15.15 (270 files already formatted). Your 0.14.x is generating it every time it touches that file.

Fix that outlasts this PR: pin your local ruff to CI's version. Either

uvx ruff@0.15.15 check . && uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff .

or add ruff==0.15.15 to the dev extra so uv run ruff matches .github/workflows/ruff_check.yml. Otherwise this will keep landing in any PR that touches a file with a docstring ending in an escaped quote.

For this PR specifically: revert that one line to main's version and everything else is ready to merge — the -- argument-injection guard verified clean and the cwd= refactor checked out against real git repos.

Fixed — clearing my earlier changes-requested.

The docstring is now byte-identical to main:

this branch: 183:        """A rate-limited 403 … not a silent "no PR found\""""
main:        183:        """A rate-limited 403 … not a silent "no PR found\""""

and CI's pinned toolchain is clean on both halves:

$ uvx ruff@0.15.15 check .          -> All checks passed!
$ uvx ruff@0.15.15 format --diff .  -> 272 files already formatted

The fix commit touched exactly 1 file, 1 line — nothing else moved. Both git fetch … -- guards are still in place (git_utils.py:128 and :150), so the argument-injection fix I verified earlier is intact: a branch named --upload-pack=touch <path> executed on main's form and is rejected as an invalid refspec here.

Full suite re-run green on this branch merged with current main.

Everything from the earlier review stands — the cwd= refactor checked out against real git repos (process cwd unchanged, False on a bad tag, both panels rendering), and the Text.append markup bug fix is a genuine improvement.

Worth acting on the root cause I posted separately so this doesn't recur: your local ruff is 0.14.x, which rewrites that docstring automatically; 0.15.x leaves it alone. Pinning to ruff==0.15.15 locally will stop it re-appearing in any PR that touches a file with a docstring ending in an escaped quote.
